The Multi-Protocol Encapsulation (MpE) is a standard method for encapsulating IP packets into MpEG-2 TS frames. However MPE has some disadvantages in simplicity and efficiency to support next generation network. The Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (uLE) is a new solution to overcome limitations of MpE. In uLE, packets are layered directly into the payload field of MPEG-2 TS frames. Thi...

Glutamine is an important amino acid for immune function. Though high intensity and prolonged exercise decreases plasma glutamine concentration and causes immune suppression, the relationship between neutrophil functions and glutamine has not yet been found. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of glutamine supplementation on neutrophil function. Twenty-six male university j...

In situ hybridization was used to examine cellular differentiation during rat adrenal regeneration, defining zona glomerulosa [cytochrome P-450 aldosterone synthase ( P-450aldo) mRNA positive], zona fasciculata [cytochrome P-450 11β-hydroxylase ( P-45011β) mRNA positive], or zona intermedia [negative for both but 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) mRNA positive]. After unilateral adrenal ...

The MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) has been widely accepted not only for providing digital TV services, but also as a subnetwork technology for building IP networks. This document describes a Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) mechanism for the transport of IPv4 and IPv6 Datagrams and other network protocol packets directly over the ISO MPEG-2 Transport Stream as TS Private Data. ULE ...

A new optical fiber and method of manufacturing the same developed for use with surgical laser systems. The fiber core utilizes an ultra-low expansion (ULE) material. The preferred ULE fiber consists of silicon dioxide core doped with titanium dioxide which is cladded and jacketed for chemical and abrasion resistance. The resulting fiber is stable against degradation due to thermal expansion.

A model for delay evaluation and minimization in paths composed of logic gates and RC wires is presented. The method, Unified Logical Effort (ULE), provides closed-form conditions for timing optimization while overcoming the breakdown of standard logical effort (LE) rules in the presence of interconnect. The ULE delay model unifies the problems of gate sizing and repeater insertion: In cases of...

The MPEG-2 standard defined by ISO 13818-1 supports a range of transmission methods for a variety of services. This document provides a threat analysis and derives the security requirements when using the Transport Stream, TS, to support an Internet network-layer using Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) defined in RFC 4326. The document also provides the motivation for link-layer se...
